    Poem Commentary

    On being mortal and the message to Be. This came to me through a meditation. Simple but eternal.

    The Message to Be

    Curiosity, wonder permeates my existence

    A lasting saga of my essence

    Chronicles, legends woven, torn

    Spiraling back, being reborn

     

    Being mortal, breathing air

    Somehow finds me acutely aware

    Sensing the struggles of each personification

    Granting renewal with every manifestation

     

    Still inside a thread remains

    Confines of the body echo like chains

    Allowing not emancipated reign

     along remembered eternal flames

     

    Given and stolen has the braid been made

    Spoken and broken and laid unafraid

    Created by magnificent stars projected

    Angled direct through the heavens unaffected

     

    A message cast within its yarn

    Its verse repeats on being born

    Go Again, My Beloved, Be Everything You Can

    Romance me with your divine plan

     

    -M. Jacobs

    Reading this leads me to believe your 'spirit' is aware & recognizes the confines and limitations of our bodily existence, acknowledging the two in unison equals your soul.................Excellent

    Yes, definitely, this simple truth came to me during a meditation with the sun.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
